The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is a day (or two) late and a few brain cells late to a major gun-related news story. Writing for yesterday’s opposingviews.com, Dennis Henigan excoriated Senator Coburn for joking about carrying a gun on Capitol Hill, referencing the possibility that presidential candidate Rick Perry might have a CCW. Why not let pols pack heat? “It is the same reason that our national parks are less safe because (due to legislation sponsored by Senator Coburn himself) concealed carry of weapons is now permitted within their borders . . .
It is the reason that our streets, restaurants and coffee houses are less safe in states that have made concealed carry easier. It is the reason that college campuses remain far safer than the gun-saturated communities that surround them, because the gun lobby has been foiled in its efforts to force colleges and universities to allow concealed carry.
Citation? Stats? Facts of any kind? Crickets chirping. I thought not.
I don;t think Dennis interprets news and world events like other people. Someday he will be faced with reality, if he’s lucky he will be afforded the same kind of consideration he offers to the rest of us.
Think of the streets in context of a national park.
Man, that poor grizzly is going to get sick eating that spoiled meat that is Dennis eh? Have they developed a Grizzly bear type of Pepto Bismal yet?
in every state that debated CCW the anti said/claimed that the streets would run red with blood IF CCW was approved anyone can prove that that has happened inany state where CCW was approved?
since florida became the first state over 30 yrs ago this still has not happened yet
when the state of virginia voted down CCW of collages the president of VT made a statement that ” NOWthe students of VT are truly safe there will be no guns on campus”
shortly after that, well we all now know whaat happened there 32 students an teachers were murdered when another student DGARA bout a GUN FREE ZONE
yep the students were really safe
had just one person would have been carring there would not have been 32 murdered
